Go through season mode as anyone. preferably a created wrestler because you will start low without any titles. Go through it and you cannot win any WWE titles or become heavily involved in a storyline, unless it is a diva one. For Torrie, by starting out with no titles you will reach a screen with Torrie Wilson and Tajiri when he says "What are you looking at?". Choose the first option to call him a loser and say that Torrie deserves better. From now on, win all your matches until you have Torrie. For Sable, play through season mode undefeated. After you win the Battle Royale, the next night on Raw you will go into the woman's locker room. Sable will say "Hey what are you doing? This is the woman's locker room!" Choose the first option to say "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention". From now on, win all your matches until you have Sable. For Stacy, play through season mode for awhile and keep winning all of your matches. Stacy will come to you with an offer. Agree to it and win all your matches to get her. Note: You will have to fight in a fifteen man Battle Royale to finally win her. After you have at least one diva, you will see an option at the screen when you decide to skip or play, and sometimes next to those two will be a lit up option saying Diva. Select it, and they will assist you at the right side. By using your Analog-stick you can command them by telling them to distract the ref or bring a weapon in for you. However, if you make them distract the ref too much, he will throw them out of the ring. Also, if your opponent falls out by them, they will attack them.

Get Trish Stratus as manager in season mode

Near the end of the year, Trish should come from the other show and talk to you, only to have the champ of the other brand take her away. You will then have a tag match with the champ. Lose this match and the superstar that came with the champ will make fun of you. Then, the Trish storyline will start.

Trish Stratus' thong in Ladder match

Play through season mode as usual. About the time of the Royal Rumble, get a championship and make sure that you lose your title on the night Trish hits on you saying "She came here just to meet you", which is No Way Out if on SmackDown! or about the fourth week for Raw. After this happens, you must win every match until you get to WrestleMania, where you will fight a Raw team, a SmackDown! team, and another team from one of those shows. The third team depends on which one you are on. For example, if you are on SmackDown!, there will be two SmackDown! teams. You will fight these two other tag teams in a Tornado 3 Team ladder match. Instead of a briefcase or title hanging from the ring, there will be Trish's thong. Note: You can do these things, and it will say that she is your Tag Team manager now. However, she cannot do this because this happens at WrestleMania 20 and it is the end of your season.

Easy wins in challenge mode

Use the following trick to win most challenges, especially timed ones, easily. When you have done the required move or requirement, go up the ramp and your opponent should follow. Just run or beat him up, then return to the ring at around "9", because the ref counts slow. You should have a lot easier time unlocking hidden attires and arenas doing things this way.

Select a very strong character (for example, The Undertaker). Fight against a very weak character (for example, Mark Jindrak). It should be very easy to finish challenge mode.

When the challenges requires you to take on any superstar, select a highly rated superstar as your character and a diva as you opponent. Even though it is a male vs. diva match, you can still win the challenge easily.

For example, ultra heavyweights can toss out heavyweights, light heavyweights, cruiserweights, and diva weights. Heavyweights can throw out light heavyweights, cruiserweights, and diva weights.

You can do this by pressing Left or Right + Down to toe kick the opponent to make them groggy. Then, press Up, Down, Left or Right + Circle to pick them up over your head. Next, walk over to the edge of the ring and press Circle. Note: Andre The Giant is the best person to do this with -- he can throw all weight classes over except super heavyweights.

This trick requires two memory cards and at least enough SmackDown! money to make your own title. First, make a title on one of your memory cards and copy the data to the other memory card. Then, play a PPV against the second player (must be human). Next, have both players use a different memory card and have both of them put the title on the line. The winner will get both belts and more value. Then, save on the memory card with both belts and turn off the PlayStation 2. Delete the data on the memory card with no belts, then copy the data from the memory card with both belts. Keep repeating this to gain more money.

Multiple created wrestlers with same attributes

Build up custom wrestler easily

You do not have to use your custom wrestler (from Create a Wrestler) in season mode to strengthen his stats. You can just use a regular WWE wrestler in the season to accumulate attribute points, then you can use those points later to edit your custom wrestler. This will save you the trouble of using a weak custom wrestler in the season mode.

Fight the opposite title holder

If you are the title holder and make it to the last month of the season, then you will fight the opposite title. For example, if you are the WWE Champion, you will fight the World Heavyweight Champion. If you are the WWE U.S. Champion, you will fight the Intercontinental Champion.

Keep championship

For this trick to work, you must be a title holder. Play until Vince tells you that you have a bounty on your head and go to the other show. At the PPV, lose the title to a superstar on the another show. For example, if you are playing as Booker T. defending the U.S. title, lose it to Christian. You will still be the champion.

Hidden weapons

When you fight at the Backstage area, you can Irish Whip your opponent to the big fence and make it collapse. There is a large yellow door marked "STOP - LIFT GATE DOWN - DOOR MUST BE OPEN". Once there, you can punish your opponents by using the gate. There are also hidden weapons inside that gate, such as tables and sledgehammers.

Hidden weapons in Parking Lot match

Go to the semi truck near the door and press Square. Your player will reach underneath and get a weapon.

Easier submissions

To make your opponent submit faster , damage the body part that the submission move will affect. For example, damage the legs before doing an Angle Lock, or the back before doing a Walls of Jericho. Additionally, for a 99% chance of making any wrestler tap out, keep doing the Surfboard Stretch until their chest is red, then use the Boston Crab; they will tap out.

Make your opponent's head turn red on his body meter next to his name. Once it is red, get your opponent on the floor and perform the Camel Clutch move. This will guarantee a tap out from the opponent.

Big Rock Bottom

First, grab a table and make sure you have at least one special. Press Down + Circle to set your opponent on the table. Press Circle again and your wrestler should get on top of the table and grapple the opponent. Press Down/Left + X button to do a toe kick. This will make your opponent groggy. Then, press L1 to do the Rock Bottom off the table from about three feet in the air.

Note: If you use Triple H, after you win at the end of the match he will place Vince on the announcer's table, climb up the cage, and elbow dive Vince threw the table.

The Big Red Machine challenge

Defeating Kane in the Big Red Machine challenge is difficult. The easiest way is to take a wrestler who has submission moves for the legs and arms, power moves for the body, and a finisher that can damage the head. Get every body part to red or orange in color. When it looks like you have got him, go to the right side of the ring and get the sledgehammer. Bring it inside the ring and throw it down. If Kane is up, knock him back down, then go for the ref. Remember that you can only knock the ref down three times before being disqualified. After the ref is down, pick Kane up, stun him, then choke him with the sledgehammer (Down + X). When he goes down, put the sledgehammer down, pick him back up, then choke him with it again. Do this until the sledgehammer disappears. By that time the ref should be awake and ready to make the count. Kane should be completely red by this time.

Look constantly to the clean letters, as they are going to be flashing. That indicates that you are in the invincibility rush. If you do not attack your opponent in that time, you are going to reverse all the moves that he tries to do, However, the invincibility rush wears off in about thirty seconds to one minute. But if you do it repeatedly, you can win the challenges in one match. To learn how to fill the clean meter, pause the game, then go to "Match Tactics". It can be read at the bottom.

You will be outside the ring. Unfortunately you cannot bring weapons back into the ring (when you go to check, there are none there).

Paul Heyman's ring entry

Play a single match with manager. Go around the character choices and find Paul Heyman. Note: You can not fight with him against anyone. Be Paul Heyman as a manager and go in the ring.

If this happens, whip your opponent to a different turnbuckle, then repeat the process.

Missing announcers
